Morphological study on the effects of sample size on ovarian tissue vitrification.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe present study aimed to assess the effects of ovarian cortex sample size on tissue morphological integrity after vitrification in a metal capsule.
methodsBovine ovarian tissue samples cut in large and small fragments (1x1x5 and 1x1x3 mm, respectively - 5 and 3 mm refer to length), vitrified in a metal capsule were fixed for histological analysis immediately after rewarming or after 48 hours culture. We assessed primordial, primary and secondary follicle morphology and stromal integrity.
resultsPrimordial follicles showed the highest rates of normal morphology after rewarming and after 48 hours culture in both, small and large tissue fragments. Primary follicles presented a significant drop in normal morphology in large samples, after 48 hours in culture. Stromal integrity was well-preserved immediately after rewarming in small and large fragments but presented a significant drop in normal morphology in large samples, after 48 hours in culture.
conclusionsThe ovarian reserve, represented by Primordial follicles, is well-preserved in small or large fragments, after vitrification and culture. However, the stromal components present better preservation after vitrification\rewarming, when tissue samples are cut in small fragments. Thus, small cortex samples should be preferred for ovarian tissue vitrification.
